Yes, you can unpack them all at once: Getting Started: Tools, Scripting and Modding
The "out" path can be whatever you want, like "D:\My Files\Games\X4\unpacked"

Yes, you need to keep the folder structure. Otherwise, things can be overwritten. Keep in mind to change the in and out path corresponding to the dlcs.
e.g.

Code: Select all

C:
cd "C:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions\ego_dlc_terran"
XRCatTool.exe -in ext_01.cat -in ext_02.cat -in ext_03.cat -out "D:\My Files\Games\X4\unpacked\extensions\ego_dlc_terran"
pause
